import owners are so funny
I work with this guy that is all about imports. he owns a stock Subaru sti and says he can beat my ss. mind you I've road in his car and it doesn't run bad but by no means is it close to my car. now I'm not saying some imports aren't fast it's just that I have worked with a few of these kind of guys and they always seem to brag about their cars more than others. . Guess there is only one way to find out.....

You'll always be a target in your SS. I get import guys and truck guys saying they can take my camaro. I just smile and shake my head. How would it look if you went up to a guy driving a Civic and said "Dude, my car will smoke yours." I just appreciate the fact that some of the import guys use my car as a goal to reach.
A few of them out there will beat you with mods and I'm fine with that. I didn't buy my car to run against the little 4 bangers.

Not so. I beat up an STI going through a windy canyon hwy when I was bringing my car home after I bought it. Couldn't hang with me or he got scared, lol.

I've road in his car and its quick for what it is but it doesn't compare to an ss. It's a 2003 sti. I just think it's kinda funny that all import drivers think they are from the fast and furious franchise. at least the ones I come across in this area. I always have civics or eclipses or Integras and now this guy always wanting a piece. some run really well though so I'm not saying they aren't quick my point was around here they all wanna talk trash when they see my car

I can only simply judge by your posts on this forum, as is the same with many others. Let me ask you this though, why act differently on a forum than in person or otherwise? Do you not realize that unless I am one of the people who knows you on a personal level, I can only base my opinion off of your posts?

STi's have potential and deserve respect, especially if you don't know specs on the car. If he can launch the car correctly, he will likely beat you off the line (yes, even a stock STi). They run out of steam quickly though and it's no contest after about 50 MPH. You have a better top end. If the car is modified any, he will hang with you longer.

Wow, you are so full of wisdom. Sometimes, it is hard to hear the truth, I undertand. It is nice to know all that stuff about you though, I appreciate you caring so much about my opinion of you, that you took the time out of your busy day, to stop being perfect, and tell me such interesting, fun filled facts. And to answer your question, yes. Given no other basis to judge one off of, the only opinion one may have is that which they find from reading said words on a forum.
